Marbleized Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 This marble is a seems to be a white base with a translucent (?) olive green swirl and patch. Seems that half the marble has a very thin layer of green for a patch that goes over the white base. There is an illusion that the white pops out above the green, but that is not the case. It may be a stretch but I am seeing what looks like a monochromatic underdeveloped helmet. Pardon the weird description. I've added an additional photo that shows this. It is .61" in size. I may be barking up the wrong tree. Need help in ID'ing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleized Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks WVRons and Fire1981! I’ve never seen that color on an Akro. So I dismissed the eyelashes. Are eyelashes are unique to Akro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 So called eyelashes can occur on any machine made marble where dull shears were used to cut the gob coming out of the machine, I have some from other manufacturers, w/ eyelashes. Akro was infamous for having many mibs with these marks though. Master, Vacor etc. have seen "eyelashes" on almost every manufacturer's mibs.

Any chance of it even being a Marble King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Sounds like it is either a Pelt or Akro. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
